University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru

University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, a premier institution of agricultural education and research in the country, began as a small agricultural research farm in 1899 on 30 acres of land donated by Her Excellency Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhiyavaru, the Regent of Mysore and appointed Dr. Lehmann, German Scientist to initiate research on soil crop response with a Laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture. Later under the initiative of the Dewan of Mysore Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, the Mysore Agriculture Residential School was established in 1913 at Hebbal which offered Licentiate in Agriculture and later offered a diploma programme in agriculture during 1920. The School was upgraded to Agriculture Collegein 1946 which offered four year degree programs in Agriculture. The Government of Mysore headed by Sri. S. Nijalingappa, the then Chief Minister, established the University of Agricultural Sciences on the pattern of Land Grant College system of USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences Act No. 22 was passed in Legislative Assembly in 1963. Dr. Zakir Hussain, the Vice President of India inaugurated the University on 21st August 1964.

    DEVELOPMENT OF EMPIRICAL CROP LOSS MODELS IN GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L.) AFFECTED BY LATE LEAFSPOT AND RUST
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 2001-08-13) CHANDRAN, K.P.; ASHALATHA, K. V.
    In the present study, an attempt was made to have an insight into the yield loss mechanism in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in presence of the fungal diseases viz., late leafspot and rust. Analysis of variance of yield and disease variables, revealed that there existed significant variations among the genotypes under study, both for yield potential and response to diseases. Moreover, disease severity was more in late sown trial and thus low yield, as compared to the early sown trial. Simple linear regression models of yield loss on disease variable at each stage, revealed that in early sown trial for pod, kernel and fodder loss, disease at 85th day after sowing DAS) was having more explanatory value compared to other stages, while it was 65th DAS for oil loss (based on r^). In late sown trial, explanatory value of the models were low, comparatively and better results were obtained with disease at 95th DAS for all yield loss variables. AUDPC models, polynomial and non linear models could not explain the variations in yield loss more precisely than the models with single point disease variables. Multiple point linear regression models of yield loss on disease at different stages taken together, improved the explanatory value, but could not explain the variation precisely. Stepwise regression analysis on disease variable and physiological traits like leaf area index, harvest index, partitioning coefficient and growth rates improved the R2 value of the models considerably, both in early and late sown trials. Grouping of genotypes with pod loss and disease variables using Mahalonobis D2 showed similar results in both trials, where variety TAG 24, which show moderate yield loss even at high disease severity, was grouped separately.

    STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF PRICE FLUCTUATION IN TIMBER

    STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF PRICE FLUCTUATION IN TIMBER BASAVARAJAIAH D. M. ABSTRACT Dr. A. R. S. BHAT Major Advisor For the present study Thithimathi Government Depot was selected as it is known for the valuable species such as Lagerstroemia lanceolata, Artocarpus hirsuta and Pterocarpus marsupium. Inspite of such fluctuations in price, interestingly no serious attempt has been made to analyse scientifically these changes and look for the reasons for such changes in price. Hence, it was thought that analysis of price fluctuation in timber would provide an insight into the reasons for such fluctuations. It is hoped that the identification of the causes would help the consumers as well as the suppliers in taking appropriate decisions. The demand for forest products is increasing, current demand for industrial wood is 27.9 m^ and the production is 12.8 m^. The precious natural wealth is contributing to plundered even today resulting in the degradation of forest. There has been steep rise in purchasing power of the people. Three notable timber of importance are Lagerstroemia lanceolata, Artocarpus hirsuta and Pterocarpus marsupium. The secondary data was pertaining to full till the objectives of study. Trend vary with the species to species. For the Pterocarpus marsupium wood, the cyclical and seasonal variation was done completely absent it may be due to scarcity supply of wood. However, it increases or decreases over a period of time. CIB class of Artocarpus hirsuta was significantly differed from other. However, length and girth influences the price variation. Hedonic price analysis was employed to determine the value addition of characteristics of price variation in timber.. Time series analysis and CGR was used on original price data of three species like Lagerstroemia lanceolata, Artocarpus hirsutus and Pterocarpus marsupium to study the irregular variation in timber price movement.
